La Cigale (open Monday through Saturday, 6 pm until late), located in downtown Buenos Aires and run by French expats, attracts a trendier crowd and features a psychedelic-styled bar area downstairs and an intimate concert area upstairs.
In the heart of the Tunis medina, La Chambre Bleue remained open for business during all but the most tumultuous days of January and February, despite being just a few minutes stroll from the sit-ins and tear gas of Place de le Kasbah.
